Braves single-game tickets go on sale Jan. 26. That’s the day before the team has its two-day Chop Fest, which is the new name for the team’s fan festival, to be held for the first time at SunTrust Park and the adjacent Battery.
A special four-game ticket package will be available beginning Jan. 26 through Chop Fest weekend, featuring discounted seats for four games priced at $40 for the infield grandstand and $80 for the Home Run Porch. Tickets will be available at the SunTrust Park ticket windows or online at www.braves.com/4game.
Chop Fest gets underway at 10 a.m. that Saturday with a rally in The Battery that’s scheduled to include some Braves players.
At Chop Fest, fans can spend $30 for autographs from as many as five current Braves players and one former player, with proceeds going to the Braves Foundation. Space is limited at autograph sessions and advance tickets can be bought at at www.braves.com/chopfest. Many other events at Chop Fest will be free, the team said.
Kids 14 and under can get free autographs from select Braves players at the SunTrust OnUp Experience at The Battery. There will be games and other activities for kids throughout the weekend including stickball and a Wiffle Ball home run derby. The SunTrust Park climbing tower and zip line will be open.
Braves players, coaches and former players will host skills clinics and a station will be set up on the field to test the speed of fans who think they might be able to beat “The Freeze.” The newly opened Omni Hotel adjacent to the ballpark will be open and host a Braves-themed art exhibit and a display of memorabilia from 10 Braves whose numbers have been retired by the team.
The Braves moved their Hall of Fame induction gala from midsummer to Chop Fest weekend, with former pitcher Tim Hudson and longtime broadcaster Joe Simpson to be inducted at the 7 p.m. event Jan. 27 (Saturday) at the Coca-Cola Roxy. Tickets can be purchased at www.braves.com/gala.
